For many years there was only one team in the NHL that got my blood pounding. The Habs would never have been the winners they were, without your leadership and devotion.

To the Pollock Family: In the early .80.s, I worked in Tanzania, East Africa as a missionary priest. Sam heard about my work, and sent along a cheque to help the poor and needy very regularly. "Thank you, Sam, for your caring and willingness to share. May you rest in the Peace of the Good Lord." With my deepest sympathy and prayers, Rev. Malcolm Smith, Kelowna, BC
